Riding the wind of rebirth

"Ziri! Erjia! Ziqi Aguo! Mujia Laha! Stay away from the car, don't get too close." A Zi stuck her head out of the car and greeted the children by the door: "Oh, mom made new clothes for me!"

"We earned it ourselves!" Muxialaha answered proudly as he jumped forward.

"The liar Muxialaha will get lost in the mountains!" Jike Azi said, "He will be fooled by the tree god!"

"I won't lie to you!" Muxia Laha rolled his eyes after saying this, and then felt that he was a little too confident: "I won't lie to Sister A Zi! This is what we got in exchange for picking bracken!"

"Ferns? Who would come so far to the village to pick them?" Ah Zi still didn't believe it.

"I exchanged it with Brother Elbow!" Muxialaha immediately revealed the identity of the victim: "I will exchange it for as much as I have!"

"And eggs!" Ziqi Aguo said indignantly, "The eggs we sold to Brother Elbow were eventually eaten by us for lunch. There are grandmas in the village who say that Brother Elbow is stupid..."

Before she could finish her last sentence, the older Amurano covered her mouth.

"Wow, my dad has changed his personality..." When the car arrived at the grain station, Jike Azi discovered that the two lights at the door had changed.

In the past, not only were the lights here dim, but my father was reluctant to turn them on. They were usually turned on once in the morning before dawn so that the children coming to school could see the road clearly, and also to illuminate the way for the villagers during the harvest season. They were usually not turned on at night if possible.

"It's all thanks to Elbow." Wu Renzhong pointed his mouth towards the room and said, "You'll see when you go in. The three roofs of the grain station are all covered with black tiles. Elbow said they are called photovoltaic panels. He built a solar power station!"

"The maintenance cost of this power station is still very high," Zhou Zhi said. "It also requires corresponding technology. The health of the batteries must be checked regularly and replaced at any time. It is not particularly suitable for the village. It was fine when I was here, but after I am gone, I am afraid the village will not be able to afford this equipment."

"What should we do then?" Wu Renzhong was originally very happy, but after hearing what Zhou Zhi said, he became a little worried.

"So this is for temporary emergency use, and we still have to rely on conventional means in the end." Zhou Zhi said: "The advantage is that we can use this small power station to gain some starting advantages. When electricity is officially connected to this area in the future, we will be ahead of other towns."

The autonomous prefecture is a backward area. Not to mention now, even in 1997, some villages still did not have electricity.

Not to mention electricity, many villages are not even suitable for human habitation. Relocating them from the mountains to river valleys was one of the important poverty alleviation measures subsequently taken by the autonomous region.

"Are you back?" Old Chi Ri appeared at the door, holding up the video recorder in his hand with a smile, and filmed Jike A Zi, who was like a little peacock surrounded by kids.

"Grandpa, what are you holding in your hand?" Jike Azi felt like she was about to forget her family members: "A video recorder? A top-notch portable one?"

This is because A Zi doesn't understand the equipment in the imaging market. The main reason is that she doesn't usually see high-end, expensive and professional equipment. This kind of portable camera now only has the latest imported models, which are indeed much more expensive than the old large machines. But she thought this thing was the most advanced one now.

"Elbow." Old Chi Ri smiled like a child who had played a successful prank, his wrinkles deepening. "Elbow is for me to record the Nuo. Is it Elbow?"

"Yes, it's not easy to describe it with words anyway, so we just record the video." Zhou Zhi nodded: "But Grandpa Chi Ri, we can't just leave the written stuff unused, we have to report it to the higher-ups first to whet their appetite."

  "I understand." At this moment, A Zi felt that her grandfather's smile was so similar to Zhou Zhi's, revealing a kind of... cunning?

"Azi is back? Oh, this is..." Tuliangzhi, wearing an apron and armholes, leaned out of the kitchen and said, "Isn't this Shama?! What a rare guest, a very rare guest!"

"Shama is here too?!" Another surprise voice sounded in the kitchen, and then Gillette Abi's figure also emerged from the kitchen: "Oh, she is so beautiful! No wonder Renzhong kept talking about her so much that our ears are callused. I have to keep talking about her too!" These two assists are really good, and they are completely true expressions of their feelings, which shows that what they said is not a lie. Shama Ricong was so happy that he forgot about the fatigue: "Hello Grandpa Chiri, hello uncle, hello aunt."

"Come on, come on, come in and sit down." Old Chi Ri greeted everyone, "It's bright in the house now. Your mother made tofu today. She also learned how to make it from Elbow. It's very tender. I'm sure you'll like it!"

"Wait until I give the presents to Aguo and the others." Jike Azi took the candy bag Zhou Zhi handed her and held it up high: "Line up, line up, everyone must be in line before we can start!"

Zhou Zhi watched the kids quickly line up, then looked at Wu Renzhong: "Isn't there a solution? Why is it always a mess when you hand out things?"

Wu Renzhong also curled his lips: "Don't talk about me, how good can you be?"

Shama Ricong also laughed: "Azi is quite talented in being a teacher. We are the same in school."

"Yes, there is a professional teacher here." Zhou Zhi pondered, "How about letting the kids come and take a half-day class tomorrow?"

"Be a decent person..." Wu Renzhong couldn't bear to hear it anymore: "Come on, Shama, I'll take you to see our solar power station!"

There are quite a lot of things in the car, many of which are very heavy and need to be put away properly. Zhou Zhi has the opportunity to arrange the work while many villagers have gathered around.

The warehouse should be moved to the warehouse, the crusher should be placed in the corner between the kitchen and the lobby, and the TV should be placed in the main hall, which is now the meeting room of the township government.

As soon as the TV was taken apart, the villagers were reluctant to leave. They all lingered and grumbled in the meeting room, making Zhou Zhi feel embarrassed: "Everyone, bear with us for a while, let's move the satellite dish upstairs!"

Fortunately, now we have all the tools, including electric drills, expansion screws and everything else. Zhou Zhi did not buy a large pot cover, as it is strictly illegal to install this thing casually. We did not dare to buy a large one that would be eye-catching, so we placed it on the beam under the vent under the eaves of the roof.

He adjusted the pot cover to more than 20 degrees south-west, and the elevation angle to more than 50 degrees, and raised the walkie-talkie: "Renzhong Renzhong, are you out?"

"It was fine just now, but now it's a little off. I need to adjust it back a little bit..."

"now what?"

"Go back a little bit, and continue... OK! It's right here, very clear! Elbow, come down and take a look!"

When Zhou Zhi ran down from upstairs, he found that the large conference room was already crowded with fellow villagers, all of whom were staring at the CCTV advertisements on TV.

"The Red River flows for eternity, producing wine from the upper reaches and oil from the lower reaches..." The TV ad was just about the soy sauce, bran and vinegar from Zhou Liu Niang Food Company, and a deep baritone voice said, "... Zhou Liu Niang Food Company uses high-end technology and modern quality management, inheriting the intangible cultural heritage of Sichuan Province, the natural cold fermented soy sauce and bran vinegar brewing techniques without koji, to provide thousands of households with the perfect condiment."

"Tongrenhe, the source of Jianghan River, is prosperous by Tianxian Cliff. It originates from a 300-year-old brand of integrity. We will meet you again in the prosperous times and create a new chapter."

"This word is really big..." Zhou Zhi stroked his chin and smacked the taste of the advertisement, with a resentful expression on his face: "Now that you have become so powerful, you don't even bother to discuss it with me..." (End of this chapter)
